IDA MAY IS AT HOME Return of the Minneapolis Girl About Whom There Was So Much Talk. She Is Soon to Be Married to Henry J. Mylius, of Milan, Italy. Re Has Banker Brothers at Adrian, Minn., and Is Him self Wealthy. A Friend of the Family As -1 serts That Miss Wileox Did Not Elope at All. Special to the Globe. New York, Aug. 4.— Among the pas- go rs by the French steamship La Bretaque to-day were two ladies, both so ill and exhausted from their voyage that they had to be supported and al most carried to a carriage by an elderly gentleman, who stood waiting at the pier. The ladies were Mrs. Charles Wileox and her daughter Miss Ida May Wileox, and the gentleman was the husband of one and the father of the other. There is nothing in Miss Wilcox's appear ance to suggest the heroine of a scandal, which caused the gossips of two coun tries to wag their tongues. She was dressed upon her arrival in sober gray, and paid little attention to the ADMIHINO GLANCES of the crowd on the pier. The party took a carriage for the Grand hotel, where the ladies at once retired. Al though several friends called io see them during the day, they excused themselves to everybody. Mrs. Wilcox declined to say anything for publication. The party will leave for Minneapolis to-morrow or Tuesday. Three big trunks, the property 0/ Miss Wilcox, explained the object of the return from Europe. They contain Miss Wi> cox's trousseau. She is to be married in October at her father's home in Min neapolis, and it is to prepare for that event that the young lady and her mother have forsaken Paris. The bride groom-to-be, as reported by the family, is Henry J. Mylius, of Milan, Italy. lie is a young Englishman who lived once at Adrian, Minn., where his BROTHERS ABB BANKERS. lie is reported to have an interest in their business, and to be wealthy, and unexceptionable socially. A friend of Mr. Wilcox said to-day that the scandal was caused by malicious people, and had no foundation in truth. "There was never any elopement at all," he said, "and I am surprised at the way the papers have persisted iv misrepre senting this young girl. The young man to whom she is going to be married knows all about this matter, and if he is satisfied now to make her his wife that ought to be sat isfactory. Miss Wilcox is a splendid woman, and the girl was little more than a child when the story was first published. People in Minnesota who have known Ida since she was a child will give her a hearty welcome, as none of them believe the stories published about her." . OIL IN MICHIGAN. A Discovery of Importance in the Grand River. Portland, Mich., Aug. 4.— Fcr some time past the presence of a considerable quantity of oil has been , noticed in Grand river, and a discovery was made this week that throws the town into ex citement. The source of the oil has been found near the head of the creek, where it oozes forth in considerable quantities from the rooks. An expert was summoned early in the week, and yesterday made his report. lie says the oil is equal to the finest Ohio product and that gas exists in large quantities in the rocks, and that it can be had for the boring. A seam was opened yester day afternoon in the rock and the oil gushed out liberally. The work of de veloping the find will be pushed.

Virginia, Nev., Aug. 4.— A deed was executed yesterday by the United States marshal conveying to the Union Trust company, of New York, all prop erty of the Sutka Tunnel company in cluded in the sale of the property Jan. 14, lb&y. The sale was made to satisfy ' i a mortgage held by Hugh McCalmont et al. A suit for foreclosure was called in the United States circuit court at Carson, Oct. 1, 1888. resulting in a de cree ordering the sale of the property. The property was bid in by agents of the Union Trust company for 1,625.000. WATER IN AUSTRALIA. The Country Changed by Streams From Underground Rivers. JMncmillan's Magazine. Some years ago I ventured to assert in these paces that the future of Aus tralia for the next thirty years rested with the engineers. The recent discov eries of underground rivers in the most arid portions of the continent, have given those words a greater signifi cance. The difficulty of Australia has always been the fear that the land will not support a large population. These discoveries of water dispel that fear. It now appears that the volumes of rain which fall about once in five years over the greater part of the Australian continent, covering with floods the plains which for four years previously have] not known more moisture than might be given in England by a good fall of dew, find their way through the porous soils into channels and chambers beneath the surface, where, at a depth of one or two thousand feet, they provide an in exhaustible store of the most pre cious commodity known to the Aus tralian squatter. It is impossible to say at present how the use of these under ground supplies of water may change the face of the Australian continent. The overflow from one bore, at a place called Kerribree. has already cut a channel of several feet in depth through the sand, and now forms a permanent river of several miles in length in what used to be an absolutely waterless country. It is only to be expected that as more water is brought to the surface, the clouds will take up more moisture by evaporation and the rains will in crease. Then, with regular rainfall and inexhaustible tanks and creeks, even the Australian squatter might begin to be contented, r' l^ OLD HICKORY'S DUEL. An Account of the Fight Between Sevier and Jacksou. Nashville American. The duel between Jackson and Sevier seems to have escaped history and biog raphy. Sevior was Jackson's equal as a soldier, and during his Indian fights of over a quarter-century he never lost a battle, because he always charged into the natives when in a body, and the Indian could fight with a tree in front of him. In 1796 Sevier was the first governor of Tennessee, and f< r twelve years. Dur in? the first term Jackson was on the supreme bench of the state. The two men had a difficulty about a military election, both being candidates. On the day when Jack o.i arrived at Knoxville to hold court Sevier came also, mounted a block in the square and denounced Jackson in unmeasured terms, calling him all the names in the early vocabu lary. There could be but one result, and that evening Jackson challenged him. Sevier accepted, and then came a question as to where the light should take place. Jackson wanted to fight on the Cherokee reservation and Sevier in Virginia. As a result letter* passed be tween them in which the word coward had the most frequent use. Finally Jackson started for Virginia and noti fied Sevier. He reached Virginia first and remained several days rwaitine the arrival of his opponent. Sevier not ap pearing he started for home, meeting his rival on the way. They met in the road, exchanged several shots, neither one being hurt, when friends interfered. They never forgave each other, and there is still a tradition that this was the most disgraceful episode iv the history of the state. THE CLEARANCES. Pulse of Trade as Shown by Bank Exchanges.

Two Points of View. Providence Telegram. Speaking of ministers' salaries recalls" a bon mot of the late Henry Fair brother. Meeting a minister in Paw tucket with whom he was well ac quainted one day, the divine told him he had received a call to another parish and should accept. "A call?" said Henry. "Yes, 1 have been laboring in the vineyard of the Lord here in Paw tucket for a number of years for a salary of $1,000 per annum, and have received a very flattering offer to go to Brook lyn with a salary of $3,000." "And that is what you mean by a call?" "Yes." "Well, up at the club we should call that a raise." . . :-:'"^n A Little Four-Year-Old. New York World. Cora's mother told her to get off the bed.

ROBBED HULLMAN, Two Robbers Go Through the St. Paul "Sleeper" on the Wabash Western. Five Passengers, Conductor and Porter Frightened Almost to Death. A Fight With the Train Con ductor and a Leap in the Dark. The Daring Pair Elude the Sheriff and Posse and Are Still at Large. Kansas City, Aug. 4.— "Hold up your hands." Such was the command that astonished the passengers on the St. Paul "sleeper" attached to the rear of the Wabash Western express as it pulled out of Harlem at S:SO o'clock last evening. The command was spoken by one of two men whose faces were conceited behind handkerchiefs, who had entered the rear of the coach. The passengers turned to ascertain the source of the command and looked into the threatening muzzles of two revolv ers. Hands went up. The cautionary words that followed were not necessary : "The first one that offers resistance will be shot by our man on the platform." There was no man on the platform, but the passengers submitted as quietly as if there had been a legion. There were seven people in the coach, five passengers, the Bleeping-car conductor and the porter. Of the passengers one was a lai y. At the first command her face blanched with fear, her hands went up for a moment, then fell life lessly into her lap. She had fainted. "I guess they won't bother us," re marked one of the robbers, and, satis fied that no resistance would be offered, they commenced their work of plunder. One man "went through" the passen gers, ONE BY ONE, while the other, with his revolver in his extended arm, kept a watchful lookout for signs of opposition. In this way the plunderer got all the booty he could in his haste, and when it was all over and the robbers had escaped the passengers found they had been re lieved of $175 in cash and two gold watches. The Wabash Western train left Kansas City at 8:20 o'clock last night. Ife was composed of the baggage, express and smoking cars, one day coach, two Mann boudoir cars and three Pullman cars. The last car was the St. Paul sleeper, where the robbers commenced their work. When the train reached the Missouri river bridge two men were seen to get off the forward end of the baggage car and disappear behind a lumber pile. The train hands thought they were tramps who had stolen a ride from Kan sas City, and paid no attention to the incident. They are now convinced that they are the robbers, and that they caught the rear end of the last sleeper as it passed the lumber pile. Just as the train pulled out of Harlem the rob bers entered the car and weut through the passengers as described. It was evi dent that their intention was to rob the passengers in all the coaches, "working" the train from the fear, for as they left the St. Paul sleeper they again cautioned its occupants to not give the alarm under penalty of being shot by "the man on the platform." Leaving the St. Paul coach, they started for the next one ahead. On the platform they met the conductor of the train, John Roach. One of the robbers pushed his revolver under the conductor's nose, and, with an oath, ordered him to hold up his hands. The conductor supposed from the nature of their disguise that a num ber of railroad men, who had taken passage on the train, were playing a practical joke on him, and with a laugh he attempted to push past them into the sleeper. Just then a gust of wind swept aside the masks of the robbers, and then he knew that the affair was one of dead earnest. He had no weapon, but he carried his lantern in his hand,and with that he dealt one of the men a vicious blow on the head, smashing the lan tern's glass and extinguishing the light. Simultaneously with his assault, the other robber fired a shot at him from his revolver. The aim was bad and the bullet missed its mark. The first rob ber had by this time recovered himself, and lie, too, took a shot at the con ductor. His aim was no more precise than his partner's. The robbers then, whith one more parting shot, swung off from the steps of the carl As they did so the conductor hurled Ivs lantern after them, determined to have the "last raff" on them. The train was running at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour, too fast for any one, except under desperate chancs, to jump off without risking his life, and Conduc tor Roach did not attempt it. lie swung out beyond the side of the car, how ever, and SAW THE ROBBERS arise and make with all haste for the dirt road that leads to Kansas City. That was the last seen of them. In the meantime the passengers in the St. Paul coach had been so com pletely terrorized that they did not regain their senses un til they heard the firing on the platform. OThen one of them pulled the cord that connects with the air brake, and the train came to a standstill. By this time the train had run a mile be yond the place where the robbers had escaped. W. H. Bonnell, special agent of the road, was a passenger in the smoking ear. When the train came to a sudden stop he rushed out to ascer tain the cause. Learning from the con ductor the occurrence of the robbery he immediately set to work to begin the chase for the robbers. He ordered the engineer to run the train to Randolph, a few miles ahead, and there he un coupled the engine and ran it back to Harlem. There he found Deputy Sheriff Tomlinson. Guards were stationed at the approaches on the bridge to prevent the robbers' en trance iuto Kansas City, and two posses were organized to scour the country for the fugitives. Sheriff Tomlinson "then walked back to Kansas City, arriv ing here at 2:30 o'clock this morning, and reported the case to the police, who are keeping a lookout in the city for the road agents. The police of the neigh boring towns have also been asked to arrest any one answering the descrip tion of the robbers, who are described as rather youthful, not over twenty or SAINT PAUL, MINN., MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5, 1889. twenty-three years of age, of slight build, and dressed something like far mer boys. No one saw their faces ex cept the conductor, and by the dim LIOUT OF HIS LANTEKK he received no definite impression of their features. Sheriff. Tomiinsou's posse returned this mori;ing after an almost fruitless search for the robbers. They succeeded in tracing the men to a farm house on the dirt road, where it is known they stole a horse from a farmer named Evans. It is supposed they forced the horse to carry double. The tracks of the animal, at least, were traced to a bend in the river, where the footprints in the sand show that the two men had dismounted. At this this point all traces of the bandits were lost. It is very likely they crossed the river and boarded a t ain tor Leaven worth on the Kansas City & Northwest ern road and escaped by that means to Leavenworth and thence to some point in Nebraska. Until to-night the names of none of the passengers in the St. Paul car were known, no record having been kept of them at the Pullman office. Two of the passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Den ham, of this city. Mr. Denham telegraphed to a business associate here that he and his wife were among the losers by the out laws' raid, and asking for money. The train was the regular St. Louis express, and the St. Paul car was carried only as far as Moberly, where it was switched into the St. Paul train. Kansas City peo ple are beginning to wonder if the clays of Jesse James have not come again. Two robberies which would have done him credit in his palmiest days have oc curred recently. One was the train robbery of last night. The other was the theft of a handful of diamonds from a jewelry store in broad daylight, the keeping at bay at the point of a re volver of the pursuins crowd and the escape of the thief. Whether the two crimes have any connection in their principals or not is s. question. They both were extraordinarily bold and very successful. The poor aim of tlie train robbers is the only thing of which Jesse might have been ashamed. THE BOSTON ON A ROCK. Narrow Escape of One of the Gov ernment's New Ships. Newport, R. L, Aug. 4.— The navy has just escaped losing one or' the linest of its new ships. The Boston was this evening run on a rock on the southern end of Rose island, in this harbor. The Boston had just completed the last of a series of most important speed and maneuvering trials in Narrangansett bay, and was returning to her anchor age oil' (ioat island when the accident occurred. No sooner did the cruiser strike than off she slid. In an in stant all the water-tight compart ments were baneed tight shut, but not before the compartments of the double bottom under the engine room were completely flooded. The Boston was at once headed close in shore, and now, with all her compart ments tightly shut, she appears to keep the water confined. If nothing* worse develops by morning she will be able to reach New York by steaming slowly. As soon as she makes the navy y;u\i, not a moment will be lost in getting her into the dry dock, and until tiiis is done no idea can be formed of the extent of her injuries. No one doubts that she has knocked a hole in her bottom some where amidships. Had she been going at a little higher rate of speed she would have torn a hole in her side large enough to have driven a team through. She was lilted on one side while a diver examined her bottom. The amount of damage is not yet known. The officers are reiicent. 11 APE AND MUIIDER. A Most Fiendish Crime Com mitted in Texan. Bekkviixe, Tex., Aug. 4.— Mamie E. Allison, a young girl of fifteen, was found dead in her bed Tuesday morn ing by her sister, nine years of age, who failed to notify the neighbors of the fact, although friends were living not 1.000 feet away. The young lady's par ents were gone from home, having left Sunday,uot to return until Wednesday. Thursday morning the girl found her sister dead. Wednesday a neighbor called to get Allison to do some work for him. and the younger girl told him her father was not at home and would re turn that day, but he would not do any work, as her sister was dead, adding: "But don't tell any one until he comes home." The physicians who exam ined the body found that the most ter rible crime had buen first committed and that the liend had added murder by deliberately choking his victim with both hands, clasping her throat until death ensued. Great clots of blood were found under the skin, which was blackened and disfigured terribly from her throat down over her breast and shoulders. From the testimony it de veloped that the younger sister was threatened with death if she gave the alarm, and was terror-stricken. Officers are working on a clue, with little chance of success. CUT HKB THROAT. The Work of a Fiend at Indian apotis. Indianapolis, Aug. 4.— The throat of Mrs. Mary Smith, a widow, was cut by a burglar while she was asleep last nitrht. She was awakened by con sciousness of a stinging pain in her neck, and involuntarily raising her hand she felt the keen edge of a knife or lazor across her fingers. She screamed; and her son from a room up stai rs came to her assistance, but the burglar es caped. The wound was deep, and the severance of the jugular vein was pre vented only by the slight obstruction of the strings" to "her night cap. which were cut. She will die. No attempt at rob bery was made. A Bad Old GirL Braintree, Mass., Aug.4.— A female burglar, about sixty-five years old, was arrested, after a severe tussel, about 12 o'clock last night, in the residence of Horace Abercrombie, having effected an entrance through the bulkhead.

An exhibition of the force of the city's artesian well was given, and a public meeting held at the opera house, at which both senators spoke at length. They announce the conviction that irrigation by artesian wells is prac ticable; and "Senator Reagan said that land now worth from 16 to ?10 when properly irrigated would be worth $50 per acre. "Senator Stewart discoursed the demonitization of silver at length, denouncing the money bags of Wall street, and calling upon the people of the. new states to elect sen ators and representatives who will help break the influence of the bondholders.

An Immense Quantity of Ore Shipped From Two Harbors. Special to the Globe. Di'LUTH, Minn., Aug. 4.— Closing to night the Minnesota Iron company beat the world's record in ore shipment for .the given time, having shipped no less than 503,000 tons by lake from the port of Two Harbors since the opening of navigation. The first shipment of ore was made on the 28th of April, giving but thirteen weeks of shipments. Add to the immense tonnage the further fact that the ore is nearly all of high grade Bessemer character, and the im portance the Minnesota company has assumed by beating all previous achievements in ore shipments can be readily appreciated.

Jackson, Miss., Aug. 4.— At every town and station on the line of road north of the Ohio river large crowds had gathered and they cheered loudly as the train passed, even though they could not see the redoubtable John. Ladies sent bouquets of flowers to him, and he was received everywhere as a conquering hero instead of the prisoner he was. South of the Ohio the demon- I strations were similar to those men tioned above. At Darant, Miss., Sulli van received an ovation, and hundreds crowded around the train and begged to shake hands with him; several ladies entered the cars and were introduced to the hero of the hour. When Jackson was reached a great crowd assembled at the depot. Sullivan was met by Bud Renaud, John Duffy, C. W. Rich. Col. Jones S. Hamil ton, and several local sports and admir ers. They all marched to the hotel, where dinner had been provided for them. . The crowd followed and shouted for Sullivan until he went into the ro tunda, where he was introduced by Col. Hamilton, and shook hands with hun dreds, but finally had to retire to his room, and the crowd was 6hut off. This demonstration so angered the governor that he ordered Sullivan locked up in the city jail, saying he did not intend to allow a prisoner, charged with a serious crime, to be holding a levee and making a farce of justice. mm REALLY A WRECKER.

Wad-el-N'Jumi Falls in the Forlorn Hope With a Bul let in His Brain. Gen. Grenfell's Report of the Fight—The Dervishes Are Wiped Out. London, Aug. 4.— England is drawing a long breath of relief to-day after the news of the complete rout of her ene mies in Egypt, on the banks of the Nile, early yesterday morning. Further de tails of the battle received here to-day describe it as a scene of revolting slaughter, such as could scarcely occur where both combatants are civilized sol diers. Nor does the responsibility for the butchery rest upon the English sol diers and their Egyptian allies. Long after the fate of the day had been de cided, after all hope of recovering their loft ground had been abandoned by the fanatical dervishes they continued to hurl themselves upon their foes, only to be mercilessly mowed down as ripe grain before the reaper. They refused all quarter and gave none, but with a grim determina tion that knew but two issues to a fight —victory or death— they fought as bravely and stubbornly when the deadly fire of their enemies had cut great swaths in their ranks, and when every movement was hampered by thepileu-up bodies of their own dead, as when first with unbroken front, and confident of victory, they faced their foes. It was while leading the scattered remnants of his brave warriors in this forlorn hope that the dervish leader, Wad-el N'Jumi, fell pierced by a bullet in his brain. His followers, nothing daunted by his fate, dashed themselves over and over again upon the pitiless and unbroken line of rifle-barrels in front of them and kept up the fight long after every vestige of organization among them had been destroyed and when nothing was left for the scattered fanatics but to sell their lives as dearly as possible. So it came that fully one haif of the invaders' force was left dead on the field. The small number of fight ing men which Wad-el-N'Jumi brought into the engagement is a complete sur prise. All estimates heretofore cred ited him with an available force of no less than 6,000 men, while it turns out that he could not, at any tims, have had more than half that number. The whole dervish force is now completely wiped out, and all immediate danger of au invasion from that quarter is at an end. DESPERATE DERVISHES. Gen. Grenfell Reports on the Bat tle of Saturday. Cairo, Aug. 4.— Gen. Grenfell, in phis official report of yesterday's battle, says that the dervishes made repeated and despeiate charges upon his men. They were met by the infantry in line of bat tle, supported by the Twentieth hussars and the Egyptian cavalry. The Egyp tian horse artillery did excellent service. The dervishes numbered 3,000 fighting men. The British troops will now re turn to Cairo. The Egyptians killed and wounded number about 100. The khe dive has sent congratulations to Gen. Greenfell. It has been decided that a permanent occupation of Sarras is nec essary for the protection of the frontier. A movement upon Dongola is deemed useless unless the government assent to the views of the English generals that Berber should be held as the true key to the Soudan. The latest advices give the Egyptian loss as 17 killed and 10l wounded. One thousand dervishes were made prisoners. EMPEROR WILLIAM'S TRIP. Germany's Ruler on a Junket in England.

Then he put John Hawkins, an able seaman, aboard with instructions to us to not interfere, as sailing master. As soon as the Rush was lost sight of, a ■ southwest course was steared right for Victoria. Hawkins from the start saw it was impossible to attempt to take - charge of affairs in his own hands, and consequently lay in his bunk nearly the whole time, not attempting to inter fere." John Hawkins, the American seaman, says he was treated kindly by everybody. When he was put aboard the steamer he said to his officers: "In stead of taking her to Sitka, they may go to Victoria." They did not answer* ■ • Mr. Hanley, collector of customs here, said ho- is of the opinion that when llawkinf was put aboard : the Black ■- ii Diamond the people on : ; the Rush did not enre whether she came to Victoria • or not, as long as she got out of the sea and stopped destroying seals.
